Answer: Extended metaphor

A metaphor is a literary device that draws a comparison between two dissimilar things. An extended metaphor employs the same method but sustains the analogy across an entire poem or narrative. Here, the author utilizes the figure of the man striking the narrator with an umbrella as a metaphor, and it qualifies as an extended metaphor because it persists throughout the entirety of the story.

Robert Frost was born in San Francisco on March 26, 1874, and became a notable American poet.

His parents, William Prescott Frost Jr. and Isabelle Moodie, relocated from Pennsylvania to California just after their wedding. Robert's father died of tuberculosis when he was only eleven, prompting him and his mother, along with his sister, Jeanie, to move to Lawrence, Massachusetts. He developed an interest in poetry during high school at this location. In 1892, Robert began studying at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, and later at Harvard University in Boston, though he did not complete a degree. In 1895, he wed Elinor Miriam White, who greatly influenced his poetic journey. Together, they had six children. Due to the failure of their farming venture in New Hampshire, they relocated to England in 1912, where he found inspiration from British poets, which helped advance and publish his work. They returned to the U.S. three years later, and by then, his literary reputation had been firmly established. Robert Frost passed away in Boston on January 29, 1963.

Initially, Robert Frost had his works published in England before they reached American audiences. His poetry was highly acclaimed and he is often regarded as one of the greatest poets of America’s 20th century, earning him multiple Pulitzer Prizes.

The combined experience of auditory and textual input allowed for intervals in reading and aided non-native English learners in associating the text with the corresponding sounds.
